The site of LSU's first game should provide the Tigers with a temporary break from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina -- as well serving as a constant reminder of what's happening back in Louisiana.
With its game against No. 15 Arizona State moved to Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, the fifth-ranked Tigers look to put tragedy out of their minds and focus on football in Saturday night's contest.
Because Baton Rouge is filled with New Orleans refugees, LSU does not have full use of its sports facilities, and ``we cannot guarantee housing for anybody,'' chancellor Sean O'Keefe said.
The overflow of people in Baton Rouge already resulted in the postponement of LSU's scheduled season opener at home against North Texas last weekend.
On Monday, the school announced that Saturday's game would be moved to the Arizona State campus, with the Sun Devils saying they will donate most of the gate receipts to the relief effort.
